Founded in 1905, The Hosiery Association (THA) is the only trade organization that advocates exclusively for the very specific needs of global legwear makers, marketers, distributors, sellers and suppliers.   During that time, we have built a solid reputation as a balanced and forward-thinking organization, focused on practical solutions with an eye on innovation and future development.

Through recent years of tremendous change and industry volatility, THA has maintained that vision, building hosiery into one of America’s strongest apparel manufacturing sectors.  While THA members represent more than 90% of legwear products sold in the US, we have also looked overseas to strengthen the organization, recognizing that 95% of consumer growth is outside of U.S. borders.  THA sees the combination of a strong U.S. base and growing presence overseas as being essential to the future health and growth of the organization and the industry.

Below is a partial listing of programs/services that THA performs on behalf of its members:

  • Represents legwear industry positions and concerns before all branches of government on a daily basis
